Projects that incorporate service learning can meaningfully applyclassroom knowledge in a real-world setting while fostering a deeper connection between thestudent and the larger community. This helps students cultivate new relationships, buildawareness of local issues, and expand intercultural understanding. As stated in the InternationalService Journal for Engineering, “Community engagement pedagogies, often called ‘servicelearning’, are ones that combine learning goals and community service in ways that can enhanceboth student growth and the common good.” [2] This recognizes that there are more sociallyconscious paths that can be followed in engineering skill development than those that rely purelyon solving a technical problem

that campus teaching centers can play in engaging faculty in activitiesthat enhance their teaching experiences. One role is creating community, by organizingdiscussion groups, peer visits, and other formal and informal events. A related role is fosteringcollegiality, often achieved through inviting respected senior faculty to help develop, coordinate,and facilitate the gatherings. A third role is building coalitions to advocate for sound policies andbest practices in such areas as “evaluation of teaching, both for promotion and improvementpurposes; teaching assistant training; teaching and learning in the diverse classroom; and facultyroles and rewards” (p. 319).17One particular way in which teaching centers could have such an impact is

] conceptualized experiential learning in engineeringeducation as self-school-community. It draws connections between students’ lives and needs(self), how they experience engineering curriculum and instruction (school), and the impacts ofgeneral well-being and contextual environmental factors (e.g., community) [7]. Thisinterdependence between engineers, knowledge, and the community creates an opportunity for avariety of approaches to produce successful outcomes. Higher education institutions and facultycan tailor experiential, community-based learning practices to their specific contexts. Forinstance, these concepts could comprise one unit of study, one course, or even an overall themewithin a program. Faculty instructors innovate through combining

Finally, religion is expected toinfluence student perceptions because of certain rules and regulations in Islam – the most popularreligion in the Middle East – that restrict mixed-gender interactions.The results may shed light on the potential impact of female faculty on engineering students,especially female students.

It is now estimated that only about one half of the college students who matriculatedinto an engineering program will actually earn an engineering degree 3. For many years, researchers have highlighted the critical role of social engagement incollege student retention and academic success. Astin 4 emphasized that the single mostinfluential factor in college student development was the peer group, a factor that links a sense ofcommunity with overall satisfaction in college. To increase student retention, Tinto 5 suggestedthat freshman students should be integrated into social and academic communities early in theirfreshman year.

This approach—which eschews “toy” problems or “recipe” projects—mmakes ECE significantly more relevant and exciting to the students and provides them with opportunities to understand how their work might impact the world. The projects make connections to the real world by addressing contemporary problems and the students discover the importance of ECE problems and the excitement of designing creative solutions.

With constant budget cuts, larger enrollment and, therefore, largerclass sizes, active learning becomes more difficult for instructors to implement effectively, if atall. While a number of solutions exist to engage students, Supplemental Instruction has beenshown at Louisiana State University (LSU) to be an effective resource that allows smaller groupsof students to be further engaged in an active environment (4, 5
